Avahi dependancies

I've just setup a new arch machine with my favourite distro when I noticed a potential problem.
I run kdemod, and there's an option in kmenu to start "Avahi Zeroconf Browser". I tried it out and nothing happened. Next I tried the program from the konsole. The response back was that avahi-discover depended on avahi, pygtk and python-dbus. For some reason I didn't have avahi and dbus-python installed.
Is there some missing dependancies (I've also posted to the kdemod forum)?

Where did avahi-discover come from? pacman -Qo $(which avahi-discover) - that package should probably depend on avahi

After Reinstallation: avahi user and message bus errors

I did a re-install of OSX 10.6.3 on a working copy, updated all software and did a permission repair. I however now get these console errors that did not happen before:
11.05.10 11:59:06 com.apple.SystemStarter[29] Starting D-Bus System Bus
11.05.10 11:59:06 com.apple.SystemStarter[29] Unknown username "avahi" in message bus configuration file
11.05.10 11:59:06 com.apple.SystemStarter[29] Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "messagebus"
The re-installation forgot to set something that was working on my system before. Could anyone please help me to correct this issue by hand?
Cheers,
Reto

In the console window during boot. I've now done a clean install of OSX and the errors went away. They were entirely related to the process of re-installing the system over my existing copy. It seems that the re-installation is not entirely complete.

Avahi-daemon doesn't start, no "ck_daemon"

Hello. Two weeks ago or so I realized during boot that Avahi daemon fails to start. Now I've debugged it and it seems like it's start sequence attempts to use "ck_daemon" command, which is not available. How can I obtain this executable or substitute it?
Last edited by Thar (2012-01-25 14:48:44)

What are the contents of 'cat /etc/rc.d/functions' and 'cat /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon'? (Use [ code ] blocks)
'ck_daemon' is a function defined within '/etc/rc.d/functions' which should be sourced as part of the daemon script.

Well, I got one report claiming this as a success, you just need avahi started before getting into kde or else kicker will go bonkers

OK, but it still doesn't work What do I need to do to make avahi publish my .local address?

Hi,
Check out this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/av … resolution
you need to install the nss-mdns package (and lib32-nss-mdns in case of 32bit applications), and then modify your /etc/nsswitch.conf
Change this line:
hosts: files dns myhostname
to
hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
Then simply restart the avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd.service and it should work fine.

A Question about Avahi

I have installed Avahi on a 64-bit system, but have so far not been able to make it discover anything. I noticed in a Fedora wiki that 64-bit systems need both 'nss-mdns' and 'lib32-nss-mdns'. On AUR's website 'lib32-nss-mdns' is flagged as outdated, while Yaourt offers it as current. However, the PKGBUILD is wrong and the alternative PKGBUILDS offered by non-maintainers don't seem to work here - or I am overlooking something.
If 'lib32-nss-mdns' really is needed for Avahi to work on 64-bit systems, I would suggest it be moved to Extra and proper maintenance... If it isn't needed, my problem is different. Does Avahi work under Arch without 'lib32-nss-mdns'?

With this PKGBUILD:
_pkgsourcename=nss-mdns
pkgname=lib32-nss-mdns
pkgver=0.10
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="glibc plugin providing host name resolution via mDNS"
arch=('x86_64')

license=('LGPL')
depends=('glibc')

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
make
package() {
cd ${scrdir}/${_pkgsourcename}-${pkgver}
make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
compiling seems to go well, but building the package fails with the foll error: "/tmp/yaourt-tmp-user/aur-lib32-nss-mdns/./PKGBUILD: line 28: cd: /lib32-nss-mdns-0.10: No such file or directory" (line 28 being: "cd ${scrdir}/${_pkgsourcename}-${pkgver}".
I am still suspicious of '_pkgsourcename', but what do I know ;( As for 'aur-lib32-nss-mdns', I am calling Yaourt from /home/user/aur.

have we a way for configuring pkg-get for installing the dependancies by himself? (like apt-get)
another pb : when i try to install one of the dependancies, i have the messsage "Les conventions d'administration syst�me n'autorisent la cr�ation que

"sorry it's in french but it said that he don't want to install the package because "the system administrattion convention allow only one copy of the package", it is because it's already installed?
thank for your help....

Journalctl with no PID message for cups and avahi contemporary failure

I have facing a persistent problem with avahi-daemon and cups as systemd services. They have been enabled but fallen in a failed state as being started. Any investigation of the failures by journalctl (using _PID=) returned no useful info (log period only). Is there another way how to find why the services failed? A dependency between cups and avahi should be IMHO optional and recommended only for those using printers connected remotedly (or managable by users in cups.conf). I cannot identify wheather the failures are caused by systemd issue, some wrong config file or missing some needed file. Any idea? Thank you all.

Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
make sure these packages are installed or install them
pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
rc.d cups start
To add device and install hp driver:
1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
# system-config-printer
click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
If you encounter the following error:
File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

Browse LAN with Avahi

I want to browse my LAN, but when I go into nautilus, the only things there are "Windows Network" and "SFTP File Transfer on <hostname>". I've installed Avahi, the daemons are started and I've added "capability" to my modules. So how do I browse files on my LAN? I've installed Bonjour on my windows dual boot for Avahi and avahi is installed and up and running on the Arch Linux partition too.

Perhaps you could describe you network in a little more detail.
Is this a Workgroup home network or are you connected to a Domain server?
If this is a workgroup are you connecting to the internet via a cable or DSL router?
Do other computers on your network connect OK?
Has your S10e ever worked properly on the network?
Are you connecting via a wireless access point or LAN cable?
What do you Ping on and from where?
Can you Ping OK on another networked computer?
Open up a DOS Prompt (aka command prompt, DOS Box). and type IPCONFIG /ALL <enter>. Do you get a compatible IP address and subnet mask? You should also get the gateway IP address.

[SOLVED] avahi sftp mount problem

greetings,
i hope i'm posting this in the right subforum (the other abvious choice would have been networking), but since this is likely to be a configuration issue, i'll post here. sorry, i'm kind of a newbie here.
sso.. i'm using a thinkpad t42, i've installed arch linux for the second time (please be patient with me, lol), and i've set up everything correctly: i have the latest gnome (2.30), and kernel. uname -a:
Linux YURI 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 15 20:08:25 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
yesterday, i've messed around a bit with my rc.conf, and now everytime i try to mount a mac share via avahi/sftp, i only see nautilus's 'opening *insert-share-name-here*', and a certain process (gvfsd-sftp) eats all my processor resources. the share never actually gets mounted. i'm guessing some kernel module is not loaded, or there's a problem with the order of my daemons.
i've searched around in on the wiki, on the forums and in google, but to no avail. everything is supposed to be in order. if someone can help, please do.
modules array from rc.conf:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_powersave fuse !slhc !thinkpad-acpi e1000 ipw2100)
daemons array:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal crond alsa !network rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server netfs ntpd avahi-daemon networkmanager gdm)
thank you,

update:
it seems, rc.conf has nothing to do with the problem. i'll leave it here for reference, but i tried logging in to gnome as root, and voilá, i could connect without a problem. so there had to be something messed up with my gnome settings. i had a crash yesterday, during which i was logged in to the other computer.
so i popped open Accessories>Passwords and Encryption keys from the gnome menu and deleted the [email protected] and [email protected] (interestingly, there wasn't an [email protected], and the problem was resolved.
my guess is that the crash somehow messed up my stored login information, and thus gvfsd-sftp went crazy trying to authenticate. if you happen to have the same problem, try the solution above.

[SOLVED] Avahi + service-types.db.pacnew

Hi there,
just a quick question: With the latest updates came avahi-0.6.31-6 to my system (Arch_x64). Pacman told me:
Warning: /usr/lib/avahi/service-types.db installed as /usr/lib/avahi/service-types.db.pacnew
Does anybody know, if I have to check something before using the .pacnew? I tried to have a look with meld, but that doesn't work - obviously - because the files in question are binary files
Last edited by swordfish (2013-03-03 11:25:27)

From looking at `$ pacman -Qii avahi`, I gather that /usr/lib/avahi/service-types.db file is marked for backup. Searching the 'net, I found that this (binary) file can be regenerated when you make any local changes to /usr/share/avahi/service-types and reinstall Avahi.
Looking at the changes to the avahi package, I found this change adding it to the list of backup files, apparently related to this bug report: FS#33930 - [avahi] missing backups.
So I guess that unless you have made any local changes, it's OK to replace the original with the .pacnew.
As always, if you don't trust my judgement, ask the package maintainer or the upstream developers :-)

Avahi everywhere...

Hi,
I'm currently configuring a lightweight production desktop using Arch, for use in public libraries around here, in replacement of your CentOS 5 desktops. Starting from a base system, I add X11, the XFCE desktop environment, and then applications one by one, given they are needed. I've been a long-time Slackware user before, so I find the KISS philosophy of Arch very appealing.
Well, some details don't seem as KISS as they could be.
Example 1: CUPS. pacman -S cups draws in various stuff, among which avahi. I don't remember this thing being a CUPS dependency.
Example 2: K3B. Since there's no equivalent for burning apps, I've always been using this for burning, the more so since it only needs qt, kdelibs and some multimedia stuff. Same thing here: pacman -S k3b draws in a lot of stuff, among which avahi.
Now I'm pondering: clutter my system, or rebuild CUPS and K3B?

zeroconf based detection of printers was added in cups 1.3. finally, imho!

avahi is the package that you want

Avahi selective publishing

Sorry for my poor english but in my language forum I not have response... My server have two interfaces (eth0, bond0), i want avahi publishing netatalk in eth0 and samba with interface bond0... at default avahi publish all service in all interfaces! And if I deny one interface from avahi-daemon.conf this interface is not longer utilized at all.
Editing afp.conf and smb.conf not help, only deny access at specified interface, but is always published with avahi. If i deny bond0 in afp.conf my Mac not able to connect, it grab the first avahi published interface and this is bond0 (or eth0... is random).
The server have 2 interface in two subnet, the Mac is the same. If a do a manual connection (without avahi) always work.
Exist a solution?

I have to give up?
